How do you feel now that XIV has become an evenue/egasm paradise?

[Seig345]

ESRB is for guidance when purchasing the game and it’s an American thing only. It has no relevance outside of that context.

What matters is that the game is sold in a multitude of countries and is advertised as being for players 13 years and older. The ToS, which is a binding agreement, also mention the age of 13 and contain specific provisions about player interactions. Different countries have different laws as to what a 13 yr old can be exposed. This is what defines both SE and players obligations and responsibilities when it comes to in game online interactions.

Anyway, I have zero interest in ERP.

ESRB is "irrelevant", but then you essentially state the terms of the game essentially equate to the same, so unless you were shoehorning in some commentary about another country's rating system, what was your point?
No one's trying to argue the ESRB is a world-wide system, but other people have been trying to use it to argue that it has anything to do with what the players get up to instead of just the actual game content itself.
The terms even state that anyone under the age of 18 has to have their parent or legal guardian agree to the TOS on their behalf in order to even play. If little Timmy is twerking his digital self with a bunch of questionable people online, I'd say throw the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) in jail.

Otherwise, by this same logic, every spicy comment made anywhere on the internet should lead to IRL extradition to every country that has a law against the content of the comment.
If that's too much of a leap, I dare say I was only following your lead...

What do I think, I just ignore it and move on blacklist them if you have to but just ignore them and play on.

For the love of all that's holy SE please do something to stop this spam. Give me unlimited blacklist....chat filters....or start letting me report them since they have a whole spot in the PF where they can and do advertise. Almost all conversation in my Limsa is dead because anytime people start talking they're drowned out by venue spam

I'm genuinely curious - What are your thoughts, now that XIV has been taken over by the egasm and venue night life?

We complain about all of the spammed venue ads - But they wouldn't be advertising and so successful if you all didn't actually go there.

• https://ffxivvenues.com/
• https://ffxivnightlife.guide/

So I'm specifically asking older players - How do you feel about XIV now? And do you you avoid them, or did you fall into the pit?

As a long time player I find myself adding every one of those Nightclub/venue/DJ Nameherewithtwitterlink/kind of advertisements to my ever-growing Blacklist™

So I will never see them again.

I've also had to turn off /Shout because it is non-stop advertising, almost as bad as Final Fantasy XI (Asura World).

It's telling, and obvious, with SO many of these ads offering large sums of Gil to get people to take notice, they aren't too popular, they must bribe for the attention and attendance.

I don't care. I have been playing the game since beta. I have seen a couple ads for venues but that is about it. I say to each their own. If other people are enjoying the game in their own way that doesn't have an effect on your experience why would you care?

I am ignoring it but at the same time i am a bit curriouse about it. I mean why are they adverting it so aggressiv and many different ones. Why do they do this, this is just RP or not? Do they gaine somehow gill or something from it, else one of those "events" would be enough wouldn't it? And why spam it sooft much. Why are there so many i just dont understand the concept.

Many venues make gil through selling consumables and other items via RP trades.

DJs have the potential to make real money from their streams that venue attendees watch to hear the music.

It really would help if SE added a Venue section to PF not to mention improve the PF UI in general. Let us filter results by multiple sub categories instead of having to check each individually. For the Venue section, create a location section with drop down selection for world/housing district/ward/plot. If someone tries to make a new listing for a house that's already listed, reject it for "Venue already listed".

Fine, I'll say it. I wouldn't want to be associated with a video game whose main audience is sexual deviants. Luckily, FFXIV isn't there yet, but it's definitely on the rise.

You took the words out of my mouth

Finally a good idea in this god forsaken thread.
